Empire EVS: Is HUD The Future?

Empire and its partner Recon Instruments showed off a heads up display designed around a new set of Empire goggles today at CES. While the goggles are new the HUD system is not, the Recon Instruments Snow2 has been is use for awhile now in the snow board and skiing industry. The version Snow2 that is being shown as CES is a retooled version designed around the sport of paintball.

Empire says the the unit will connect over bluetooth to its markers and hoppers. We are guessing a forte version of the Vanquish and Prophecy will includes the correct chips to connect to give you shot counts, shots remaining etc.

Will this change paintball? No. Coming in a hefty price of $499.99 for the whole setup, it is unlikely you will see to many on the field.
